RE: Philips 610 DVD Recorder for £99.99
Im hoping someone can help me. Ive been trying to set the 610 recorder up with my TV and cable box for the last couple of nights without much luck. Starting to drive me mad! I have a Daewoo 28" Widescreen TV with two scart sockets. Only other connection on the back is an aerial socket. My Telewest Cable box also has two scart sockets. Ive connected the cable box into the TV by scart lead. The 610 into the tv by scart lead, then the cable box into the 610 by scart lead. 3 scart leads have been used. Going by the manual I connected them by the way it said. I got no signal message appear on the 610. I then swapped the scart leads over on the back of my TV. I got a signal, but the picture on the TV is green, only half appears on the screen and then moves to the one side. I thought it could be the scart leads. Got some gold plated ones today.. no different. I decided to try other combinations with the scart leads. I have got the 610 to accept a picture from ext 2 which is the cable box, but then i cant get any on screen menu. Ive also found if i turn either the tv off or cable box, then turn them on again the 610 only recognises ext 1 which is the tv. By turning the 610 off then on again it recognises ext 2. None of the above are any use to me. All i want is to get my cable box working through the 610 with the menu to appear on the screen so i can record.
Are the scart sockets at the back of my TV different? Has anybody got any ideas on what i might try next?. I feel like throwing the DVD recorder out of the window at the moment.
RE: cheaper than cheap cinema sound at w h smiths shops /web
I decided to but one of these. To answer my own question it has got an AV1 so i can plug my cable box in and get the sound through the speakers. The only problem ive got is trying to get into the video set up to change it to a scart connection for DVDs. The writing on screen has ghosting so im presuming its set to something different. For some reason the video option isnt appearing.
Anybody know what im doing wrong?
RE: cheaper than cheap cinema sound at w h smiths shops /web
Hi
I visited my 2 local WHSMITHS stores who had sold out. I was wanting to look at one to see whether it has phono audio inputs so i can plug in my Telewest Cable box? Whilst im on the subject of cable tv, can anyone reccomend a good video sender so i can watch cable in another room?
Cheers
